Developers are secretly hoping OpenAI fails to ship this month

OpenAI's 28-day Codex sprint, which began on Day 1, features a challenge for developers to hope for a free usage reset, despite the company promising improvements every day. Engineering lead Thibault Sottiaux claimed GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol are about 50% faster, with speeds reaching approximately 50 tokens per second. The speedup applies to OpenAI's products and third-party services.

The sprint's first official ship was a speed improvement to GPT-6.1 Sol, following an apology for a slow start and a global reset for paid ChatGPT accounts. The challenge highlights OpenAI's focus on simplification, efficiency, and new features, as well as the controversy surrounding usage limits, which may be reduced in the coming weeks.

AI Is Making It Too Easy to Avoid Thinking

I use AI every day. I build things with it, experiment with it, write code with it, learn about new things with it, and generally think it's one of the most interesting technologies I've ever had access to. So this is definitely not an "AI is ruining everything" post.
